Hot for the Orient is the fifth and final studio album from Australian glam rock band Skyhooks. This was the only album the band recorded without newly departed vocalist Graeme "Shirley" Strachan. Lead vocals are performed by Tony Williams. The album peaked at number 64 on the Australian charts; the band's first studio albums not to reach the Australian top ten. The band disbanded soon after. However, the band reformed in 1983 with their classic line-up of their early-mid-1970s success and began touring once again.

Video clips for "Over the Border" and "Keep the Junk in America" were both performed on Countdown. A live performance at the Bombay Rock was simulcast on television show Nightmoves and radio station 3RRR to debut the album.^[1]

The album was re-printed on CD and re-released as part of the Skyhooks Roadcase boxset in 1996.
